Atlus to extend Demon’s Souls server support

Atlus Inc. this week said it will extend sever support for Demon’s Souls for Sony Corp.’s Playstation 3.

The publisher previously said that it would end online functionality for the title in May.

“We’re incredibly excited to be able to announce that the Demon’s Souls online experience will persist for a while longer,” stated Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

“While it originally seemed as though it would be unfeasible for us to continue to sustain the servers, a number of developments have made it possible for us to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us and Demon’s Souls.

Demon’s Souls, released in Oct. 2009, is an action RPG in which users must combat difficult enemies with minimal save options.
